Neighborhood and Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality as Related to the Driving Time to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention–Capable Hospital

A cross‐sectional study of age‐ and sex‐adjusted mortality in census block groups to evaluate whether driving time from one's residence to a PCI‐capable hospital contributes to AMI deaths.

Incidence of female breast cancer in Arkansas: are we following the national trend?

There was a 9.3% decline in the incidence of invasive female breast cancer in Arkansas in 2003, and the decline continued through 2005, with a significantly higher decline among invasive cancers, particularly among women ages 50 and older and for those having an estrogen-receptor positive tumor.

Differences between Arkansas and the United States in Prevalence of Risk Factors Explain Variations in Ischemic Heart Disease Mortality Rates among Pre-Medicare (45-64) and Medicare (65-84) Age Groups

This study modeled IHD deaths attributable to differential prevalence between AR and the US using mortality data and prevalence data from AR and US for years 2000-2010, and relative risk measures obtained from the INTERHEART and Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities studies to show that if the prevalence of significant risk factors to US levels were reduced, it would reduce AR I HD deaths by 26.6% in the pre-Medicare age group and 15.9% inthe Medicare age group.

Disease phenotypic and geospatial features vary across genetic lineages for Tuberculosis within Arkansas, 2010–2020

TB incidence and genotype data from all Arkansas counties over an 11-year time span from 2010 through 2020 is analyzed to identify demographic and disease phenotypic characteristics that are associated with different Mtb genetic lineages in the study area.

Abstract 209: Driving Time to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Capable Hospital and Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality

The regression analyses indicated that the driving time to the nearest PCI-capable hospital is a significant predictor of AMI mortality in all BGs, after adjusting for education, poverty, race, and population density.

Change in mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke in Arkansas (1979 to 2007).

Evidence is provided to suggest that the decrease in cigarette smoking was a very important factor in the decreases in CHD- and stroke-related mortality in Arkansas from 1979 to 2007.
